Intent 1:
To limit the probability that:
- persons and emergency responders will not be notified
of a fire emergency,
- emergency responders will be delayed in carrying out
their duties,
- designated supervisory staff will not be appointed and
organized to respond to fire emergencies,
- occupants will not practise evacuation procedures, and
- instructions, including schematic diagrams, describing
the type, location and operation of building fire emergency systems
will not be established.
This is to limit the probability
of delays or ineffectiveness in conducting firefighting operations,
evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead
to harm to persons, including emergency responders.
Intent 2:
To limit the probability that:
- fire hazards will not be controlled, and
- building facilities, systems, equipment and devices
will not be properly inspected or maintained.
This is to limit the probability
of fire or the spread of fire, which could lead to harm to persons.
